Tan Guo Liang hasn't been active locally for a while as he was overseas doing his MFA. Now he has graduated and is back in Singapore with a studio at Kapo Factory.
Anyway this series began during his MFA days which he worked with fabric and used paint on the fabric to see how the paint takes. Not so much of an abstract expressionist or visual field painting but more of how materials and pigment work together. The translucency of the fabric also added to the effect.
This is very different from the works which he showed at his last show with Space Cottonseed; the oil paintings of flowers.
Our favourite piece.
Points for collectors: Really like these works and where he is moving. Smart and knowledgeable artist. Strong Buy rating. Was there for the opening and there were some works in the back room which was open during that evening, but other days the backroom was closed. Think there was a couple of his oil paintings there too. Hopefully you get to see them.
